New Google Plus Comments in Blog - How to View / Receive Notifications?

I have a Blogger blog and I used to have Blogger's own comment system in it. I didn't like some parts of it, so I tried changing to Google+ comments instead.

I have no problems with the comment box, it's implemented well, works fine, etc. But when I had Blogger comments, I could see the newest comments my visitors had posted site-wide and I also received email notifications when someone posted a comment in any post of my blog.

However, now, with Google Plus comments, I don't seem to get any sort of notification. (no emails, not even that alert thingy on top-right corner of Google that only ever shows Youtube comments I don't care about) And, also, I know of no way to check the most recent comment in my website.

I kind of need either of these features (most recent / notifications) so I can reply to people when they post comments on my blog. After all I got dozens of posts it's not viable to check every single one of them for new comments every single day.

How can I view the most recent Google plus comments within a website? Or at least receive an email when there is a new Google plus comment posted in my website?

P.S.: I'm not interested in an API for these. There should be an actual user interface somewhere for these things, right?

As it currently stands, this feature has not worked since October 2016.

According to a post by a Google Employee in the official Blogger Forum on 2nd February 2017 -
