This might sound silly and I suppose stands at odds with the general premise of the thread, but: Following the story's theme of building Asterion up and working to restore his agency and sense of self, is there a possibility of encouraging Asterion, when he's ready, to choose his own appearance, find his own style and maybe even surprise the MC from time to time? We've had a small moment of him doing so in Chapter 18 which was nevertheless great to see.

I always end up sprinting through the dress-up without changing anything outside of his preference because I don't want the MC to continue to exercise that kind of power over him.

Oh yeah, I want that to become more frequent as the story goes on.

That's an interesting point. As the game went on I felt the dress up mechanic became more abstract 'gamefied' in my head and separate from the MC telling Asterion what to wear, to the point where I didn't feel it was the MC telling him what to wear.

There a few moments where Asterion is going out at night on his own without the MC where he's presumably dressing himself but still has the option to choose outfits.

I do like the idea of him having more agency with it though. It would be cool if some of the new outfits were introduced as ideas Asterion had on his own, and he's simply anxiously asking the MC for fashion advice. It could co-inside with him using the internet for the first time.
