I like the idea that humans were accidental and from of the leftovers. I feel it'd make for a good exploration about themes like identity, what makes monsters and humans so different and similar, the respective species' place in the world and all that.
them learning to kinda hack the system is interesting too. it makes sense to me like "yeah humanity would do that, huh" and I think it fits with how technically they're the otherworldly ones in the setting.
the calendars being different would also be fun to explore! like different holidays and names for the months and stuff. if this were a fangame, I can imagine a little easter egg of Asgore or the lab or something having an old preserved calendar artifact from before they were all sealed, with flavor text implying there was one calendar when they were all coexisting before the war or something.
also the fallen humans coming at different decades is something I headcanoned when I was still immersed in the fandom and canon, so that'd be pretty cool to see in stuff! it sounds like it'd be a really interesting AU if you ever make it a thing.
