It's so frustrating. I received feedback after my first submission and made revisions based on the feedback before submitting it again for the second time. However, the result was the same as the first, with the same rejection comments.

Hello, I would like to ask where to find the validation report when submitting a manuscript?

The reviewing process is slow, just have to wait. After the first major revision, the comments and the reviewer's opinions were not consistent, so there was a second major revision. The reviewer asked a question, and I explained it with the mechanism and references. I told him that someone had already done it and it was not feasible. But in the second revision, he suggested that I conduct an experiment. (It's like someone has already eaten a watermelon, taken a photo, and told you that the inside is red, but you don't believe it and insist on cutting it open to see if it's really red.)

The key point is that after the second revision, when I finished the changes, the editor directly rejected the submission?!?! There wasn't even a chance for it to be sent for review. The reason for rejection was surprisingly the opinion of the reviewer in the second revision. If that was the case, they could have rejected it directly after the second revision. Why did they reject it after I made the changes??

I am really fed up with such a trash journal and editor.

It's really slow. It took 4 months to give feedback, and after the minor repairs, it was directly held by the editor for another month.
