This research paper is fully interesting and very well described. However, certain aspects of the paper's technicality and presentation prevent me from accepting the paper, and I am marking it as "Major revisions requested". Please consider the following remarks to improve your article.


1- The introduction section needs to highlight the motivation contribution of the research.
2- Write general algorithm of the proposed work in steps format so that other can replicate the study.
3- Please separate the result and discussion session. The discussions should highlight why the proposed method is providing good results.
4- I would like authors to present the limitations of the current methods (if any) and possible directions for future research.
5- The discussions should highlight why the proposed method is providing good results.

**PeerJ Staff Note:** It is PeerJ policy that additional references suggested during the peer-review process should only be included if the authors are in agreement that they are relevant and useful.

Experimental design

1.The authors should add at least two existing datasets to the experiment.
2.The authors should add at least two new classification networks for experiments, not just in AlexNet, VggNet, ResNet.
3.The authors need to add some visual experimental results in this manuscript.

Validity of the findings

In this paper, the authors propose a model designs that enhance adversarial strength with incorporating feature denoising blocks. And they tested the proposed approach on the ImageNet and CIFAR-10 datasets. The result shows a high accuracy. However, some shortcomings in this manuscript.
