In the early stages, it took a long time from submission to reaching the editor (I had to remind them twice, and they responded saying they had a high volume of manuscripts and would process it within one to two weeks. However, looking back, it seemed like the reminders had little effect). But once it reached the editor, the processing speed was very fast.
There was one reviewer, and the editor was Houlong Zhuang, who gave me two months to make revisions. I originally planned to take one month to make the revisions so that it wouldn't seem like I didn't make proper modifications. However, I needed it urgently, so I wrote a thorough ten-page response, included all the necessary materials, and made significant improvements to the overall content and quality of the paper. Surprisingly, I submitted it on the evening of the 20th, which was a Friday. I thought it would be sent for review again or at least take another two to three days. However, when I checked the next morning, it had already been accepted. It seems like the editor is available 24/7. Editor Houlong Zhuang's processing speed is truly impressive. Kudos to him! I also wish everyone good luck!
