I need help with customizing my List of Contents

Question

Lads,

I want to make a Table of Contents as show in. I've been using the default option, but it is not what I'm looking for.

this is what I want:

I. PART ONE
 I. Chapter one
  1. subsection A
  2. subsection B
 II. Chapter two
  1. subsection A
  2. subsection B
II. PART TWO
 I. Chapter one
  1. subsection A
  2. subsection B
 II. Chapter two
  1. subsection A
  2. subsection B

example:

my problem lies not in the structure of the book, but in the Table of Contents. For example, Parts are noted as "1", Chapters are noted as "1.1", and Subsections as "1.1.1". The core of my problem is only referencing Contents, not the overall structure of the book.

I'd appreciate your help

my code:

\documentclass[10pt]{book}
\usepackage[width=3.93in, height=6.49in, top=1.0in, papersize={5.5in,8.2in}]{geometry}
\makeatletter\@addtoreset{chapter}{part}\makeatother%

Welcome to TeX.SE! Please show us a short compilable TeX code you have so far, then we do not have to guess what you are doing ... — Mensch, Feb 25 '23 at 18:20
It would greatly help if you provided an MWE (from \documentclass... to \end{document}) that we can compile that shows your problem and how you have tried to fix it. Default LaTeX does not produce non-English output so we have no idea what you might have done. — Peter Wilson, Feb 25 '23 at 18:22
I don't think that you have fixed it. The regular command is \chapter... not \Chapter... I have no idea how many other errors you might have made.have made.and I have no intention of looking for them. --GOM — Peter Wilson, Feb 25 '23 at 18:47

no, my problem lies not in the structure of the book, but in the Table of Contents. For example, Parts are noted as "1", Chapters are noted as "1.1", and Subsections as "1.1.1".

It's not clear to me how exact to take your specification: do you want section headings to also omit the chapter number? Do you want the periods to appear after the numbers? This assumes yes and no, respectively.

\documentclass[10pt,openany]{book}
\counterwithin{chapter}{part}
\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\Roman{chapter}}
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{section}}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\part{Part1}
\chapter{A}\section{One}\section{Two}
\chapter{B}\section{One}\section{Two}
\chapter{C}\section{One}\section{Two}
\part{Part2}
\chapter{A}\section{One}\section{Two}
\chapter{B}\section{One}\section{Two}
\chapter{C}\section{One}\section{Two}
\end{document}

Some other things to note:

The level below \chapter is \section, not \subsection
There was a lot of code that wasn't relevant to your example. It would have helped us understand things better if you'd taken that out.
Even with all of your code, it didn't include the \tableofcontents nor any \(sub)sections.
