Id The Greatest Fusion Fantasy is a manhwa (comic) written by Kim Daewoo (김대우), with art by A. T. Kenny. Released between 2001 and 2009, the manhwa version is adapted from the novel of the same name by the same author. The plot is set in a fantasy universe where traditional sword and sorcery elements (mana, elemental magic system, dragons, elves, dwarves etc.) and Chinese wuxia plot elements (qi, taoist ideas, references to jianghu) coexist.

Release history and popularity

The manhwa was originally posted on a Korean web fantasy novel website, and spread to other then South Korean online service providers such as hitel, nownuri and Chollian from 2001.

Plot summary

This is the story of a man named Ye Chun Hwa (예천화) who is trapped in a world he does not come from. He soon takes the name of Id in order to not attract attention with his unusual name. As Chun Hwa progresses through this strange new world he makes friends, enemies, and part of his past is shown indicating that there is more than meets the eye. Around volume six his origins and his past are revealed, but many questions about him remain unanswered.
