Premise of the series

Hobin Yoo is a scrawny teenage boy who wants to make a name for himself online, so he decides to create a NewTuber channel and starts making videos about fighting. Since he has no experience in the area, he constantly gets beaten up and has to go through a lot of trials and tribulations before he gets the hang of things.

Furthermore, the story also shows Hobin going through some major problems with other streamers, such as blackmailing, bullying, and more. The story focuses not only on the nature of fighting and what it takes to fight in real life, but also on the ups and downs of streaming, which has become a fairly prevalent topic in this day and age.

As the series progresses, Hobin becomes viral online because of him being the guy who fights people on his channel. That is the basis of the story, and while it is fairly straightforward, the webtoon has several twists and turns that make it fairly immersive.
