I had to return the reward because something broke during completing the study. I feel like I wasted time.

Other than having to manually type prolific ID and completion code, the study was engaging. Clear instructions and fast approval.

As mentioned in the pervious comment, you have to manually type in your Prolific ID because you can't copy paste it. Same to the completion code, so I even wrote it down on paper. I was assigned 60 questions that required a lot of reading and quite a bit of thought. However, I only had 30 minutes to go through everything, so it really felt like I was racing against the clock. Personally I found it quite stressful. Approved fairly quickly afterward, and they also provided an additional adjustment payment.

There's a three step process to this one. First is to MANUALLY enter your prolific ID, they do not allow copy/pasting. Next you're tasked with answering 44 questions in a most likely/least likely radio button fashion which is easy enough. A little bit of reading and reflecting on your previous experiences. However, they warn you up front that if you speed through you will be rejected. I certainly didn't speed through but I also didn't take my time either, completing the main survey after about 16 and a half minutes. I went to complete the project and I got a warning from the application saying (to the likes of, I should have screenshotted this) "Woah, that was really fast. Maybe go back and double check your answers...". I didn't realize finishing the project in 3/4 of the time was super fast, but we'll see how this goes. The third part was receiving your completion code which again, you cannot copy/paste and you have to type out manually. That's not as bad as the prolific ID but still a bit silly. Then optional demographics questions.
