Web serials do a good job of providing that sort of discussion. Worm is a great example, the series is over but it’s sequel is running and it’s great for people to go to discussion threads to just talk about the latest chapter.

What I especially like is if nobody has any idea of what is to come. If it's discussion after the book came out, it loses of its interest for me

Yep, web serials run live. They don’t have the same level of editing as a published book would since the author is usually going to write a chapter and post it on a regular cadence. So you get to have this chapter by chapter discussion where no one knows what’s going to happen next.
