The journal is so terrible, so slow. I submitted it in March 2021, and the review process hasn't finished yet. I have no choice but to withdraw my submission. People in the future, don't ever consider submitting to this journal, seriously! It's so terrible! I rarely lose control of my emotions, but this is one of those times.

I hope the author will carefully consider before submitting their manuscript. I generally don't say that journals are bad, but this journal is really not good. The main reasons are as follows:
(1) The review process is extremely long, as seen in the progress record below.
(2) The editor is irresponsible. Despite multiple emails sent during the five months of unhandled editing, there was no response or resolution. Promised deadlines for addressing issues were not met, meaning she did not take action. This ultimately led to it taking about a month for me to apply for withdrawal, and I was not given any valid reason for the journal's long period of non-action on the paper.

The entire manuscript submission progress is as follows:
Submission date: 11th May 2022 (with editor)
Status update: 26th September 2022 (editor invited)
Status update: 8th October 2022 (Editor Declined Invitation)
Status update: 10th October 2022 (editor invited)
Status update: 2nd November 2022 (Editor Declined Invitation)
Status update: 20th November 2022 (Withdrawn) (I voluntarily applied for withdrawal; otherwise, who knows how much more time would have been wasted)

Too much procrastination, for more than 10 months.
