You do have your answer already, what makes you not happy with it? Sorry that it took so long to respond. I was really busy these past few days. Anyway, I'm not sure if I have my answer yet. I think that I just have a slightly different context for my question.

My question is: "Why does your LOVE and EXP change after a RESET, even though you still inflicted pain on monsters?"

The game makes a point to tell you that even if you RESET, you still did whatever you did before the RESET. An example of this is when Flowey taunts you if you RESET after killing Toriel, Asgore, and even Flowey himself. Another example is when people in the Underground such as Undyne and Papyrus comment on a mysterious deja vu regarding Frisk, stating that they feel like they have seen them before. This would mean that the amount of pain that you have inflicted on others would stay the same, even if you RESET, which in turn, should keep your LOVE and EXP the same. Why does it not? Am I just misunderstanding what LOVE and EXP are? Or possibly misinterpreting the examples that I listed? Did I already answer the question without realizing it?
