This is the result of Ridi's expansion of services, the steady popularity of works across diverse genres, and the establishment of a culture where readers can directly support their favorite works. To date, the cumulative number of votes has surpassed 10 million.
Voting for the "2025 Ridi Awards" will continue until the 14th of next month, with the winners announced on December 29th.
