Homer
CARLYLE
Too evil.
???
He was a cruel man with evil views.
But enough about Cervantes. Hate his cruel and crude old book.

His writing certainly has a noble style. Tbh I don't really care about his personal life.
He might have been traumatised by the whale slaughtering and could have been frustrated about his lack of literary success.

Had Wagner been born in the current year and raised by an iphone tablet he would have just become another Minecraft youtuber.

Goethe
cynicism is often a result of loving too much.
Racism too, they say. I love my white brothers too much and it's made me racist. C'est lovey
Guenon (PBUH)
Kierkegaard

Idk about "most," but Mark Twain is certainly a contender.
