And then when he discovered his Reset power, he probably thought: Hey, it's not like they'll remember anything. I'll just bring them back! So what happens if I kill them instead? But, Chara openly tried to destroy the entire world and was content with eternal nothingness without any thought of trying to be a good person. That's why people forgive Flowey/Asriel so fast. Because he made the effort to feel feelings. This is just speculation of mine, but remember how Asriel tells us that Chara wasn't the greatest person? That means that, at one point, he realized something bad about Chara, but we don't know what. They could have been dark at times, or selfish, or mean, who knows. We can see that Asriel is a very young, innocent, and helpful child. Despite being soulless, Flowey could've kept these traits, and that is the reason why the tried to help people at first before deciding it was too boring. But if Chara was any of the things mentioned above, then they wouldn't have wasted much of their time trying to be friends with anyone.

Besides, Chara is a ghost of some sort and never comes to life until the end of a Genocide. How could they help people in that state? It is true that this human can take control over people, but that is a matter of how much EXP/LOVE they gained, and I highly doubt any monster could have any of those two stats anywhere near high.
