If it was Chara, theyd want to convince you the monsters are evil, to persuade you to go on a genocide run - doesn't make sense for him to trick you to thinking they're good as that's counterproductive to his goal. Also, how does that work lore-wise? Is frisk hearing a voice in his head? Is the voice giving him knowledge for free? You'd think that would worry the character just a teensy bit, no? And Tsunderplane for example, only thinks you might be human when you try to get close, and even then the average monster may simply not realise how harmful the bullets are to nonmonsters (after all, they're not usually "attacking" your physical body but rather your soul). Furthermore, a lot of the encounter text is redundant in that case - when you perform an action, the narrator typically says "you did x - y happened/didn't happen/etc". Literally repeating what the character did is stupid because obviously the character would know.

The whole surprise attack thing doesn't make sense - why wouldn't all the monsters/many of them attack you at once? Or when you're busy doing puzzles in snowdin for example? More or less everytime you have the first action even though you typucally don't see an encounter coming.

You really think, especially after additional millenia in time, humans haven't worked how to do that quickly? I could easily picture armies of wizards - after all humans fight each other plenty - speaking of which 1) The getting 6 human souls was actually Chara's idea and Asriel was both reluctant and changed his mind 2) The appropriate punishment for trespass is expulsion, maybe a fine/short detainment, not death. Back to the human strength thing, we see in Frisk even a regular human can have great determination and refuse to die for a significant amount of time - if the events that transpire affect the aboveground, don't you think we'd see at least a fraction of the human population's souls attempting to fight back - which would still be millions of souls? We see no such thing, no evidence that the humans care at all - that's because the events are contained in the underground (otherwise the barrier is stupid - keeps them physically out but doesn't prevent other forms of attack?)
