Later, it was clarified that the situation was as follows:
The email I submitted was different from the author's email in my manuscript. The associate editor only sent an email to the email in the manuscript, which was the school's institutional email. I had not logged in to check it before, so I did not see or reply to the editor's comments.
Then, on June 20th, I replied to the associate editor's question and confirmed the information they needed. In the afternoon of June 2nd, I received a reply email from the associate editor, and in the evening, I received an "under review" email from the associate editor. The second article on the homepage changed from "Pending review" to "Under review".
It was just a small episode. For those whose pending review time is too long, you can check all your emails to see if you have received any emails requesting confirmation.
If the editorial office does not reply to the inquiry email sent by the author, the most direct way is to call MDPI China branch. The staff answering the phone is very enthusiastic and friendly~

An experience with a long Pending reviewing time. I submitted two articles, the first one on June 4th and it went under review on June 6th. Interestingly, after the first one went under review, I submitted the second one on June 6th as well. However, until June 20th, the second article was still Pending review.

During this period, I sent five emails to the editorial office (the same account that sent the submission confirmation email to the authors), but I didn't receive any replies.

On June 20th, feeling that this couldn't be dragged on any longer, I decisively called MDPI Beijing branch to inquire (I even suspected that MDPI or the journal had disappeared, hahaha).

The person on the other end checked for me and informed me that the deputy editor had sent me an email on June 8th regarding the second article, requesting confirmation of some information. However, I never replied to the deputy editor's email, which resulted in my second article remaining Pending review.

I said it was impossible because I have been closely monitoring my email during this period, not even letting junk mail slip by.

Direction of tunnel engineering, submitted on April 18th, received notice of major revision on May 31st. Among the three reviewers, one expert provided more than ten comments, while the other two experts provided 3 to 5 comments each. All comments were relevant to the field of expertise, and some of them were quite detailed. Overall, all three experts had positive opinions. The journal required the revisions to be completed within 10 days. The revisions were completed on June 11th, and accepted directly on June 16th.
Overall impression: The difficulty of submission was relatively low, although the APC fee was slightly higher. The overall speed was very fast.

6.16 Submission
On 6.14, I submitted to MDPI's journal, but they said it was not within their scope. However, it is still in the pending stage, and they haven't sent a rejection email yet. After seeing this, should I immediately submit to another journal, or should I wait for it to be rejected before submitting elsewhere?

How long do you have to wait for a review? Is it too long that it's not going to happen?

How is it going? How long do you have to wait for the review? If it exceeds three days, is it considered cancelled?

How long do you have to wait? If it's more than 3 days, does it mean it's over?

May I ask how long does it usually take for a pending review? If it exceeds a few days, generally, is there no hope left?

Why was I directly rejected by the editorial department... is it because only students without supervisors are accepted?

It was indexed within a month of online publication, the efficiency is great. I have to say that MDPI's publishing experience is truly first-rate, they get things done when you pay.

Just submit to this journal if you have the means, but it is only recommended for those seeking a quick graduation. If you are considering pursuing a Ph.D., it is not advised to submit.

I was rejected after 14 days, and I feel completely discouraged. It seems that waiting for too long will result in rejection.
