I used to be very imginative as a kid and wrote a lot but I haven't done it in like 10 years so I don't even know where to start from..I'm thinking about writing it in third person and styling it like a japanese light novel

>styling it like a japanese light novel
In that case you don't need to know anything about writing.

Here's all I thought up so far
It's going to be a self-made novel about a group of teenagers living a high school life. All the characters are based on real life people, but in this context they are completely fictional. The story will be told in third person and styled like a japanese light novel. Each chapter will tell the story of a different character in his/her point of view. It's falls into the category of romance, drama and fantasy. Most of the events will be based on dreams I've had.

yes by light novel I meant the very simple amateurish writing style, heavy on dialougue, basically the stuff you see in fanfictions

If you're already telling the story where each chapter is point of view of different character, wouldn't it be better, or at least easier, to tell it in first person?

I got inspired by game of thrones (a song of ice and fire) in which every chapter is named after one of the characters and told in third person. I don't know, I think it would fit the narrative better.

3rd limited with lots of POVs is hot in fantasy right now, first person is hot in YA fantasy. Writing in first person in some places can be a signal that the story is YA-oriented.

If your goal is to write in a simple amateurish style you should probably write as you are right now because you are, at this point, an amateur, which I think was the point of the first post in this thread.

Thanks for the advice, I should probably use the third person only to narrate some parts (like the prologue, character introductions, etc) and mainly the first person for each character, so a mix of both.
