So this isn't true. In Mass Effect 1 its stated by Virgil on Ilos that it took the Reapers decades to wipe out the Protheans planet by planet. By the time the Reapers went back through the Mu Relay and Virgil woke up the scientists decades later there wasn't enough of them left to repopulate the galaxy.

There are issues with the pacing of Mass Effect 3, but that isn't one of them.

Yeah this. The reapers are strong but their true strength are indoctrination and converting organisms into husks.

I can't remember if it was said in the games, comics, novels or on the bioware forum so if it's canon I cannot say, but while the reapers are formidable in battle they still try to avoid partaking in it themselves as much as possible as the loss of a reaper would be the loss of the race that reaper was made from. The usual attack plan was ruined by Shepard so even from the get go they are spread thin and use reckless tactics.
