I can imagine how frustrating that experience must have been. It's really disappointing not to get any feedback, especially after putting so much effort into your article. Kudos to you for not giving up and quickly finding another publication that appreciated your work. It's great to hear that your article got published promptly there.

Dealing with setbacks like this can be tough, but your determination to keep going and find a better platform is very inspiring. Sometimes, things not working out with one publication can lead to even better opportunities elsewhere. I'm glad you found success with the second publication.

Wishing you all the best with your future submissions!
