When I submitted my paper, I did not choose a special issue. However, an editor emailed me recommending to transfer to a special issue that fits the theme better, and I agreed. The special issue expands the scope of the journal, but does not affect the review efficiency or publication and indexing after acceptance

Does this journal have to be assigned to his special issue?

I thought that there would be minor revisions after the first review, but the reviewers provided a lot of suggestions, some of which were difficult to address. It was not until after major revisions that the paper was finally accepted.
The current cost-effectiveness seems acceptable (if the research group covers the publication fee), but I have the feeling that MDPI is becoming stricter this year. It is important to have a strong narrative, as submitting a paper that seems too superficial might lead to rejection based on the template alone

Journal editors are very responsible and respond quickly to any issues raised. They find professional reviewers who provide insightful feedback, and after making revisions based on their comments, the quality of the manuscript significantly improves. If the quality of the manuscript is poor, it will be rejected
