Discord book club bot for books, series, anime, manga and games

Media Club runs the clubs your community already loves: books, series, anime, manga, games, movies or podcasts. Each club has a shared list, scheduled sessions with reminders, progress check-ins, spoiler-safe discussion threads per section, ratings and short reviews, and “what next?” votes.

A club card in Discord

What you get

A list for every club

Current title, an ordered queue of what’s next, and finished titles with ratings. Members can suggest titles and managers move the club on with /club next.

Progress check-ins

/club progress saves where you are, by chapter, episode, page, level or percent. The club card shows who checked in, who finished and how far the group is.

Spoiler-safe threads

Split a title into sections. A section’s thread is handed to you only once you reach its end, so nothing ahead of you gets spoiled by accident.

Sessions and reminders

Schedule a session in plain words like “tomorrow 20:00”. Members get a reminder with the club’s ping role, and the session can also appear in Events.

“What next?” votes

Put planned titles to a vote. The winner becomes the current title or moves to the top of the list, with ties going to the one listed first.

Ratings and reviews

Rate a title from 1 to 5 stars with a short review. Reviews posted in the club channel are hidden behind a spoiler tag.

How it works

  1. Turn on Media Club

    Open https://console.botgg.app, choose your server and turn on Media Club in the Community section.

  2. Create your clubs

    Give each club a name, emoji, media type, a channel and a ping role. Choose whether anyone can join and whether to use discussion threads.

  3. Fill the list

    Add titles with a link, cover, length and section size, or let members suggest them with /club suggest. Make one the current title.

  4. Read, watch, play together

    Members join with /club join, check in with /club progress, open their unlocked threads with /club discuss and rate with /club review.

Spoilers stay where they belong

The hardest part of any book or anime club is spoilers. Media Club gives each section of a title its own thread, and /club discuss only hands you the sections you’ve finished. Ask for one further ahead and the bot tells you it’s still ahead of you. Discord can’t hide public threads, so this is a guide, not a lock, but it keeps casual spoilers out of the way.

Clubs: 2 on Free, 15 on Pro. Planned and current titles per club: 25 on Free, 200 on Pro. Media Club uses no coins. Sessions can be added to Events, and Flows can react to check-ins, finished titles, reviews, new titles, session reminders and vote results.

Frequently asked questions

How do I run a book club on Discord?

Turn on Media Club in the BotGG console, create a club with a channel, add the book as the current title and schedule a session. Members check in with /club progress.

Does it work for anime, series and games?

Yes. Each club has a media type: book, series, anime, manga, game, movie, podcast or other, and progress is counted in chapters, episodes, pages, levels or percent.

How does it avoid spoilers?

Discussion threads are split into sections, and the bot only gives you the threads for sections you’ve finished. Reviews in the club channel are posted behind a spoiler tag.

Can members choose what to read next?

Yes. Managers start a “what next?” vote from the planned titles, and the winner becomes the current title or moves to the top of the list.

Does it create Discord events?

If the Events feature is on, a club session can also be added there, which posts it and syncs a Discord scheduled event.
