How do you know they DID take almost the monster entire population? They didn't! The expedition only involved around a few dozen mondters. It had Gaster, Asgore, the monsters who wrote the Waterfall plaques, and some other monsters we're unsure of. It did NOT, however, contain Toriel OR Asriel, as Chara fell sometime between this initial expedition (earliest as proven by the plaques) and after Asriel went to New Home (Otherwise Asriel couldn't have found Chara)

Snowdin is just as bad of a name as Asriel. For the same reason, too. It's just combining two words related to the situation-"Snowed in", like "Asgore"/"Toriel" making Asriel.

It's not communism, but it's the Middle Ages. At that point, almost everything was dictated by the King. This was likely similar to the Byzantine Empire, which was actually around at the time.

They were written all by Gerson, connecting to each other. Volumes 6-8 explained how SOULs work. Why? So that you'll understand Part 9, which requires knowledge of this so you'll properly understand the tale of Asriel and Chara. You explain prior knolwedge prior to when you'll need it, not AFTERwards, when it's too late.

There's also not Volumes 2, 3, or 5. But we know they must have existed.

Puzzles were explained in Volume 2 according to my theory, directly after the volume where Home was founded. That's well before they moved out in Volume 4. I don't see the problem. It can't be Volume 1, because, well... It's not there. All that Volume 1 tells is the story of them moving to Home. And maybe stuff before then, since we opened up a random page. If so, the "before" stuff would mention the war between humans and monsters. Based on where we start, "Fearful of further human attacks", it's clear that IS what was mentioned just before then. After all, there can't be a Volume 0.
