Reviewer comments:

The topic of this paper is interesting. however, I have some comments for improvement of the paper as below:
-In the abstract section: I suggest writing more specific findings related to the topic rather than explaining it generally. Writing "future research" as a keyword is not suitable. please revise it accordingly.

-I cannot find a well-justification related to the gap in the research as the authors just mentioned on page 3 "there are several studies on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on life". what are the problem statement of this research and the necessity of this review? and where are the contributions in this part?

-In the literature review section, I suggest that the authors prepare a table (literature matrix) related to studies in this field rather than only explaining it in the text format since it is a review paper.

-It is recommended to prepare a PRISMA flowchart and explain the data, missing data, etc. according to that.

-There is not enough discussion for the findings. Only reporting the findings is not enough and not comprehensive. please justify the finding of each section based on the current literature
-The authors should add/highlight their limitations and future studies in their conclusion part.

-There seem to be grammatical errors in certain places (missing commas, wrongly constructed sentences, etc).
It needs proofreading as well.

-In-text referencing must be consistent. In some places in the paper, it's alphabetical, sometimes it’s chronological, and sometimes it’s not coherent. A check needs to be made right through all the references to ensure that they are provided in a consistent format.
