RIDI’s ‘The Dungeon Artist’ Breaks Through… Sets an All-Time Sales High Just 2 Weeks After Release

A Meteoric 80-Fold Jump in Original Sales… The Birth of a Mega IP Reshaping the Fantasy Ecosystem

Content platform RIDI has unveiled Novel Comics’s new title ‘The Dungeon Artist’, and it is shaking up the content market after breaking the all-time high sales record in the platform’s fantasy webtoon category just two weeks after release.

According to RIDI on the 5th, the work ranked at the very top of real-time trends on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) immediately after its launch last month, quickly emerging as a must-watch hit. More than anything, the ripple effect of the visual content directly translated into demand for the original, proving an overwhelming synergy: over the two weeks since its release, sales of the original web novel surged by as much as 80 times compared with the same period prior to that.

‘The Dungeon Artist’ was produced based on the eponymous mega-hit work that won the grand prize for the best web novel in the fantasy category at the 2025 Ridie Awards. After an unfortunate fire incident, an art teacher who wakes up in a world inside the paintings he created himself demonstrates a fierce yet compelling survival story through an original setting, fully capturing the readership.
