I'm curious. I played the game. And if I were to say anything I disliked, it's that the MC seems like too much of blank slate. We really don't know much about him other than he's a racing prodigy and an orphan. Him playing the piano at the hotel was a pleasant surprise because it was something new we didn't know about him.
I was also shocked to find out half way through the release 0.1 content that he and Emma are not dating. I hadn't realized it at that point.
Given this reaction, I was surprised when the tarot based personalities were introduced at the start of the release 0.2 content. Was this in reaction to his lack of personality in 0.1? I was surprised such a full personality "system" wasn't there from the start.

I agree. When the personality and relationship choices came up, I was immediately regretting not seeing them in 0.1. As it is, the MC's attitude toward Emma in 0.2 is decided by (I think) two choices. It wouldn't make the MC any less of a blank slate, but the player would get more opportunities to roleplay. On the other hand, since 0.1 is Emma-centric, choices relating to her could bias players toward her before they're even introduced to the other love interests.
I also think it would be good to make it abundantly clear that they aren't in a relationship. Something small, like seeing them sleep in different beds, could immediately fix this.

No, adding choices was always the intention: https://f95zone.to/threads/formula-zero-v0-02d-celeritas-vn.238819/post-15781342
During the first episode I think it's quite obvious that they are not in a relationship (just look at how she reacts at him being naked and so on) but if there could be any doubt Emma's conversation with Yuki really shows it.

Sure, but the issue is with managing expectations. At the start we see two people living together. We're playing an AVN, and most people will assume they're in a relationship. When more information gets revealed, we need to readjust that assumption. This can be avoided by being as clear as possible as soon as possible that they aren't romantically involved.
