There were a total of three reviewers. The comments from the first three reviewers were all positive, and they all recognized the innovation. The Associate Editor (AE) also provided some suggestions. However, we encountered an annoying reviewer 2. Initially, we thought we could directly accept the paper after making the necessary revisions. However, reviewer 2 was not satisfied with the responses to the AE's questions and asked for further clarification, as well as raising an unrelated question. The other two reviewers indicated acceptance. Therefore, the AE requested minor revisions this time. Even after addressing the concerns, reviewer 2 remained dissatisfied and raised the same questions as before, as well as two additional unrelated questions. The AE did not adopt reviewer 2's opinions this time and accepted the paper directly. Some reviewers can be really annoying and seem to intentionally make things difficult!

Three reviewers, took about a month to receive their comments, the comments were all fine and easy to address. Unfortunately, just a few days after receiving the comments, I fell ill and had to undergo a minor surgery, which caused a significant delay. I could only start making revisions by the end of October, and finally resubmitted on November 9th.

The process was actually quite fast, but it was mainly delayed because of my illness. The reviewers' comments were very professional, as they were experts in their respective fields and could easily identify the issues in the article. Although it was just a letter, it held great significance for me. It also gave me a small understanding in my own field and boosted my confidence. I will continue to strive for better. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to the reviewers and editor for their evaluation. This is the best gift for me in 2021. Thank you.
