Not the one you're talking to, but- ouo;;

His relationship with them isn’t strictly sexual. Sex may be all he needed or wanted from them, but even while they were brainwashed he treated them, on the surface, as though they were all in a more romantic relationship with him. The women all believed they were in love with him and he was in love with them, that was how he treated them initially.

Much like Riliane treats people like toys, Venomania treats women like characters in a dating sim; he doesn’t care about them once the game is off, and he’s playing to get to the good bits, but he does romance them in that way. (This could be different by the end, that part of the novel isn't translated, but still.) He even does seem to care about some of them to a limited extent, like Lukana, although clearly not to a point that it changes anything.

Saying they’re in a strictly sexual relationship erases that facet of it, when saying it’s a false relationship encompasses all the fake gentleness while the drive for sex is self-evident.

That’s just the opinion of the person who wrote those connections, from her impressions from the manga and what she's read of the novel.
