The Master and Margarita is the ultimate anime novel, think about it.

-The Master is an otaku hikikomori self-insert
-Margarita is quite literally his dream waifu come flesh
-There's a couple of fanservice scenes with Margarita naked or in a fancy dress that are justified by mostly by comedy
-Bezdomnyi acts as the Master's foil in the vein of an anime MC's best friend, even if they never meet in the book
-Woland is a villain straight out of artsy anime à la Penguindrum
-His entourage is a quirky miniboss squad straight out of shonen
-One of them is a talking cat, 'cause gotta have a cat
-The whole book presents social critiques under the guise of fantasy much like all those serious fantasy and sci-fi anime
-There's weird Christian symbolism no one has quite managed to crack maybe because there's nothing to crack

I like St. Hildegaard, but outlier are just that. And judging by the ideological narrative of feminists, she shouldn't exist, especially during her time period.

No doubt the artist is the child of his time; but woe to him if he is also its disciple, or even its favouite. Let some beneficent deity snatch the infant betimes from his mother's breast, let it nourish him with the milk of a better age and suffer him to grow up to full maturity beneath the distant skies of Greece. Then when he has become a man, let him return to his century as an alien figure; but not in order to gladden it by his appearance, rather, terrible like Agamemnon's son, to cleanse it.
