Overall, the journal has certain requirements for the innovation of the paper. The three reviewers, experienced experts in the field, were very meticulous in the review process, and all their comments were critical. However, the review process was fast, so if there is an urgent need for publication, it can be considered for submission.

2022.1.3 Received notice of major revisions, one positive, one neutral, and one negative. The positive reviewer passed it directly, while the neutral reviewer raised many detailed questions about a specific chapter, which I did not anticipate having different interpretations. So I made thorough revisions. The final negative reviewer's comments were very subjective and did not mention any specific issues, only stating that the article's description was unclear. However, after careful modifications, I resubmitted it.
2022.1.17 Returned with major revisions.
2022.1.19 Minor revisions. The neutral reviewer had a few remaining unclear questions, so I explained and resubmitted it.
2022.1.25 Accepted.
2022.1.26 Returned with proofreading modifications.
2022.1.26 Pending conversion and conversion skipped.
Overall, it is not bad. Some of the comments are even better than those from some good journals. This version had the most changes I made and I am quite satisfied.
