I'm going to start off by saying that the publisher of Id went bankrupt. That means that Id was cancelled over 4 years ago and will most likely never continue. It's safe to say that Id "ends" at chapter 178 which feels sort of disappointing because we're left in the middle of an ongoing conflict where the main antagonists or "masterminds" aren't even confronted yet.
Ignoring the manhwa's cancellation, the story was really nice for me up till the "end." It had an overpowered main character who could still realize he needed to learn a thing or two, people who were constantly dumbfounded by his power, ... and a lot of fighting.
The problem with the fighting part is it was so badly drawn. You could hardly tell what's going on because the artist doesn't know how to depict fighting in a still frame. Imagine being in a dark room when it's daylight outside, trying to read a book using tiny slits of light that are barely making its way through a thick curtain WHILE you're on the other side of the room. It gets better, but barely.
There were a few characters I liked and a lot that I questioned why they were even being introduced since more than two-thirds of the people Id befriends end up being sidelined or used as a backdrop.
Still, I enjoyed this manhwa even with it being axed.

This manga is my dream come true.

1. It's fantasy

2. Main hero is great in every aspect. No, I have no problem that he's totally OTT!

3. Plot is within its genre quite original, after some obligatory power showing-off cliches, it starts being fresh and unexpected.

4. Art is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! I just love it. I love traditional Asia-inspired clothing, weapons and everything. I was reading it all over again just because of this, my all-time-favourite (alright, there are some better, but these are like... oneshots) A-R-T!

But. Id left me with broken heart. It stopped. They stopped publishing Id! My perfect manga. Whenever I'm not careful and accidentally open ... the folder, I catch myself reading several chapters. But there is no more. Do you know that kind of despair? If you want to avoid it, never get involved with Id!

(I would love to read the novel, but I couldn't find any proper translation. Should I learn korean to read this?)

Was enjoying the series, especially since I like overpowered MC's. However, somewhere in the middle, the author realized the MC was too overpowered. At first it made sense for the MC to fight and be defeated by more overpowered opponents. Then, he decided to give the MC reasons to be powered down, so much so that he would lost against regular opponents. After the suppressing his powers a lot, I could not continue reading.

There was a side character I liked at the begging because he was a funny, but later he became annoying. The MC's group was hiding from an ... enemy, the MC was still op'ed at this time, so there was no point of him hiding, but I digress. Anyway, the side characters decided to joke around during this moment and were discovered by the enemy because of his antics. There is a time and place for humor, but this situation was horribly timed. There were other similar incidents that reminded me of Akame ga Kill's horrible timing of humor. Fortunately, the manga here is not as dark, so it did not affect the story as much.
