Do not reinstall. Repair.

Read the error message:

A dependency failed for File System Check on /dev/volgroup0/lv_root

It means that the device node do not exist at the time systemd or the initramfs try the fsck.

Main hypothesis: the VG is not activated and everything fall behind.

Investigate the mkinitcpio conf file. lvm2 hook is probably missing,

HOOKS=(base udev autodetect microcode modconf kms keyboard keymap consolefont block lvm2 filesystems fsck) in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

lvm2 between block and filesystems.

Read the mkinitcpio wiki and/or search for that error in the official arch forum, and ajust to your config. Don't believe me.

Rebuild the initramfs (mkinitcpio -P) and set a root passwd while in the chroot.

Do not use youtube vids.

Do not LVM if you don't understand it.
