The use of the word "universe" here is a lot more akin to franchise or IP, but I found neither of those terms suitable due to the commercial association with it. But I guess "setting" would be the most accurate term.

I do agree that the settings should be more contiguous, but at this stage, it's rather hard to do with a lot of them undergoing a lot of refinement. A greater abundance of crossovers could add more inter-connectivity though we should be careful about having one setting relying too much on or eclipsing another setting.
