2022-05-08 Received feedback, but it was an exact copy of the feedback from 02-26 without any modifications, the editor rejected it.
2022-05-08 Sent an appeal email to the editor on the same day, the editor apologized and said they would confirm the specific situation with the reviewer
2022-05-17 The editor mentioned they were unable to contact the reviewer and will continue trying to reach them.
I initially didn't want to post this comment, but it is extremely infuriating. The review process took a week, went through three rounds of review, and in the end, I couldn't even receive a single "valid" review feedback. They simply copied and pasted the previous feedback. I even suspect that they didn't even read my revised manuscript. What is the point of such reviewers other than being disgusting?
Furthermore, I believe the editor tried their best for my article, but having such irresponsible reviewers who directly copy the previous review feedback led the editor to make the decision to reject it, which also made me sad.
The year-long review process has left me mentally and physically exhausted, and I have lost confidence in the attitudes of some researchers. However, I hope my experience is an exception, and I hope your journal will continue to improve.
