It's because he's leveling up and because he initially invests so heavily into strength you see that affect on him the most. An important part about this story is that he's the only one leveling up, which is why his change within a few months freaks out others who knew him before. Nobody else can do what he does.

I get that conceptually, it's just that there was no gradual change at all. He went from nervous dweeb in episode 4 to gigachad k-pop hearthrob in episode 5, with no transition in between. I just found that a bit jarring, like the protagonist was literally replaced.
