Its possible that Chara had an extraordinary amount determination like Frisk... Chara didn't have such amount of DT, otherwise they sould be able to Save/Load. Best evidence that they couldn't do it is their failure in the village, whatever they wanted to do there - ''ASRIEL had the power to destroy them all. But... ASRIEL did not fight back. Clutching the human (Chara's body)... ASRIEL smiled, and walked away and They were the one that wanted to... ... to use our full power. I (Asriel) was the one that resisted''. This wouldn't be possible if they had access to RSL, the power that can surpass any other because it simply gives endless attempts to overcome any difficulties, even death - ''Again and again, I brought myself to the edge of death. At any point, I could have let this world continue on without me. But as long as I was determined to live... I could go back. Amazing, isn't it... ...I've done everything this world has to offer. I've read every book. I've burned every book. I've won every game. I've lost every game. I've appeased everyone. I've killed everyone. Sets of numbers..''. - Flowey. With such thing failure is not possible. Chara wasn't able to Save, so they have failed. Whenever Frisk died, they brought their SOUL back together again by pure DT alone. That is power of Save File not Determination. ''Remember the final fight against Asriel? Whenever Frisk died, they brought their SOUL back together again by pure DT alone.'' But it refused - in that case Determination only protected Soul from shattering, so it didn't die. Trying to glue already destroyed Soul with DT is a different thing. Also, monster SOULs are only different from human SOULs only because they don't have the same amount of DT like humans. This isn't the only difference. When Chara died their Soul, the culmination of their being was transfered into Asriel's body. Later, especially in village, that Soul did manifest its presence and proved that it has mind, emotions and free will. When Asriel turned into dust, his Soul dissapeared because it is in their nature. However, Asriel's mind, emotons (partially) and free will still was transfered into flower that later become Flowey. Obviously, he lost some emotions - ''I soon realized I didn't feel ANYTHING about ANYONE. My compassion had disappeared! The exact same part that monster Soul is made of - Love, hope, compassion ... This is what people say monster SOULs are made of.'' - Dark green book. Asriel did lost his Soul but kept everything else and he survived. Without Soul! It means that monsters actually do not need it so much. So, as you can see monster and human Souls are different. They are incomparable.

opponents like Muffet who utilise poison I have looked closely twice to fight with Muffet, but I couldn't find the thing you are talking about.
