@Galeah Succubus Notebook contains the only remotely detailed info we have about Lilith's rise to the throne, and as far as I can see there is no time frame like "quickly" referenced. Its only noted that somehow she was able to bring the monsters together without having to engage in mass slaughter.

We also know from MGE volume 1 that after she gained the throne the rest of the monsters came together and offered up their power to enable her to change them into monster girls and alter the settings. We can presume this happened very soon after she gained the throne, but again, no time frame is directly referenced.

@The Reptile King Its notable that the monsters weren't really "driven back" so much as without a demon lord they lost their cohesion as a fighting force (keep in mind most monsters back then were not sapient and relied on the relative few intelligent monsters to guide them, the demon lord being the only being that could unite them in general), and instead of focusing on hunting humans they would turn their attention to killing each other. Thus they would not only cease to attack in force, but would deplete their own forces. Human populations would thus recover not because monsters had been driven off by fighting them off but because monsters simply ceased most of their attacks and their populations fell.
