Viral Hit found the perfect recipe.

Training arcs are understandably looked upon with skepticism whenever they occur in shonen anime just because the demographic has a tendency of over relying on them to explain how a hero gets exponentially stronger than a more powerful opponent. However, the Viral Hit anime is showing how it can be done, and the series isn't even a shonen, let alone Japanese. It's a manhwa.

Especially since he's not a natural fighter, Hobin has yet and likely will never meet a foe he can defeat just by relying on his current knowledge base, so he must always train. Hobin's form of training just so happens to be a channel on the same social media platform that serendipitously has published videos that explain how he can win in each fight.

However, Viral Hit adds even more variables that further require Hobin to train, besides the fact that he isn't a professional by any means. For example, he has to contend with multiple fighting styles that he's unfamiliar with, like taekwondo, and, in the latest case, multiple opponents simultaneously.
