YLAB is a South Korean production company which has produced numerous manhwa and manga series. The Super String Universe is their flagship shared universe which multiple of their series are set in.

Blue String is their second shared universe, centering on youth action stories which are set in neighbouring cities in the Gyeonggi province. There's also a Red String universe, focused on romance stories.

The order follows YLAB's official website timeline (which is apparently a bit out of date).

Daily Pass Originals is the binge release model by the licensor WEBTOON where they release a finished series all at once. The bulk of the series can only be read on their app, where users can either temporarily unlock one chapter a day (hence 'daily pass') or pay to permanently unlock the chapters. Ongoing Daily Passes have the same lock limitations but are instead published weekly (like a regular release), and usually the final chapters must be paid for. The ongoing ones of the latter variety can be found in this stack: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/7255

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/23127

WEBTOON also converts completed series, which originally didn't require unlocking, to the Daily Pass format, but this list is focused on series that were Daily Pass from the start.

Origin of the term/slang:

"최최차차 (choe-choe-cha-cha)

This Korean slang is an abbreviation of “최애는 최애고 차은우는 차은우다” (choe-ae-neun-choe-aego-cha-eunwoo-cha-eunwoo-da), which translates to “My favourite is my favourite and Cha Eun-woo is Cha Eun-woo."

The slang was coined by new fans of Cha Eun-woo, a member of boy group Astro. It’s used to express that their feelings for their favourite celebrity, which is “최애” (choe-ae), is separate from their newfound interest in Cha Eun-Woo.“
