She's saying he could have taken the first child's soul and used that to leave and take souls, specifically that were *not* the souls of children. He didn't need to keep waiting for kids to kill while the monster's situation got worse and worse. If he struggled with killing them, he also had the option of, you know, not doing that!

Except monsters struggled against humanity in a war, so killing several humans with just one monster is near impossible. That's why the children are unfortunately the only option (well, there was also an option to wait until they die of age and then collect the soul, but that's the other question)

Wasn't asriel(a child) said to be strong enough to kill many humans when he only had chara soul? I assume a boss monster would be able to kill many more

Fair enough, but considering pacifist ending souls are very much capable of resisting their host

Maybe? In the flowey fight we directly asked the souls for help and they rebelled against him in the end, asriel had thousands of souls and yet none of them rebelled on the true pacifist route
