Which authors deal with the question of living life even though it feels meaningless?
Are they convincing? Will they give my life meaning?

The Stranger and Camus is the obvious answer. Skylark if you consider that ugliness removes meaning from someone's life.

Perhaps an uggo can comment on that?

Camus made you want to live life even though it's meaningless? I mean, I understand that that's his pimary subject, but is he succesful?

Sitting on your ass in northern algeria, seeing movies, and wandering around at dusk saying "hi" to neighbors apparently is better than being on death row/being guillotined for a crime of no-passion apparently.

It is an odd type of success. It is the concept of living unapologetically, making your way through life by sheer force of will. Living out of spite for life.

In broad terms, in Myth of Sysiphus, he explains that in the presence of the mortal toil one should go "fine then" and proceed with life, because the moment you stop behaving like it's a punishment it stops being a punishment. Whatever meaning it might have is pointless in the face of someone just working through it, being content in just being.

Also, Rayuela by Julio Cortázar is very fun if you are into the existential crisis.
