To change, or not to change? (Patreon)

I now provide you, my faithful fans, with three separate options, which will determine how I deal with stat, status and body changes in this particular scene. If I am pleased with the resulting piece of work, then the option chosen here may be implemented in all future end-scenes.
The first choice: Leave it as-is. No stat changes. No status changes. No body changes. No inventory changes. No changes at all! The kobold stays exactly the way it is, in every panel but the game-text itself. The fastest for me to work with, and it provides an uninterrupted flow of text, like a true story should be.
The second choice: Stat changes, in a few rare cases. No status changes. Body changes. Inventory changes. Apart from the status screen, everything is kept up to date with what happens in the storyline. That includes gender and virginity-statuses. No change-notifications, providing the same uninterrupted flow as the first option. Not too much work, not too much gain either.
The third choice: Change EVERYTHING. Stat changes, status changes, body changes, inventory changes, change-notifications. The whole shebang. This makes end scenes indistinguishable from regular scenes. Frequent, pointless status change notifications might grow annoying, though. Plus this'll take more time to make. On the positive side, this'll allow me to modify statuses in end scenes, and then test for those statuses later in the scenes and make different things happen. I doubt I'll do that very often, though.
So, the choice is yours. Pick whichever option seems more logical to you. Discuss which one you think is best in the comments below. If you have a unique suggestion of your own, feel free to pick other, and tell me what you think should be done. Choose wisely. Your wish is my command, but be careful what you wish for.
