2022.2.1 resubmit the revision
2022.2.4 minor revision (2 days) Dissatisfaction with the response to the major revision from one reviewer
2022.2.6 accept
The whole process from submission to acceptance took a total of 25 days. Both the editor and the reviewers were very professional with their questions. It is recommended to conduct solid experiments before submitting, and ensure that the overall logical structure of the paper is clear. Otherwise, it may be rejected and it is advised to resubmit after making the necessary modifications. Additionally, the issues raised during the major revision were all very professional. The given 7-10 days were not sufficient if the relevant data and characterization were not prepared beforehand. This is just my personal opinion, and should be taken as a reference.

The speed is super fast. It takes less than two weeks from submission to acceptance. The article is innovative, but the process of concrete verification actually has flaws, and I don't want to conduct experiments to make up for it. In the end, it was changed to a weak mechanism biased towards application, mainly focusing on format, images, and attention to detail. The fee is indeed high.
Those in a rush to graduate can submit, and those who want to have a paper to rely on can also do so. If a master's thesis is submitted, there may even be a chance to receive a scholarship. Regardless of the quality of the journal, having a paper in hand reduces anxiety, and one can then focus on the rest.
