The Daily life of the Human Rank Squad

Summary:

In which Martha creates a group chat used for finding rank partners that ends up being a chat used to discuss anything but rank, even if the people chatting aren't necessarily humans and can literally talk to each other in real life half the time.

 

(This is a chatfic translation uploaded through screenshots in order to retain profile pictures and chat style. Updates slowly – at least slower than the actual work in Chinese which has like 120+ chaps. Please do not kill me for the unholy amount of tags I don't know how they work. To mobile people: check series folder please. I'm sorry.)

[Author ships anyone/anyone based on their mood of the day. Unless it's vital to plot/never changes it won't be tagged since it doesn't affect the story much. If you think someone is being shipped in a scene they probably are – for like 3 seconds. oh also time of reunion doesn't exist]

Notes:

Chapter 1: Translator's Notes (PLEASE READ)

Chapter Text

Greetings. I'm dumb. This is a work translated from @anhaomeile's still-going series of the same name – "人类开黑群的日常" (placed under the folder "第五群聊" – IDV GC) published on LOFTER. (this is a link to part of it – the other parts crashed because the APP used to create them was shut down: https://www.ihuaben.com/book/6157791.html)

 

Everything is posted as screenshots from a character conversation simulator like the OG work. All profile pictures are from the OG work (aka stickers from idv). All in-conversation illustrations are done by the OG author. Yes, they can draw extremely well.

 

The author can ship anyone and anything as long as it's not incest depending on their mood, so I won't be tagging everything – just the major ones that don't change, or play a huge part in the storyline. If something was not specified to be a ship it probably actually is one – only three secs tho. Though if you don't ship them, it will give almost no difference to the story. Currently XieFanXie is also confirmed and forever confirmed but their only emotional scene was scrapped due to censorship (??? blame lofter) so it's not tagged.

 

Plot's been through the ozone layer, back, went beneath the mantle, then immediately jumped into the Mariana Trench and came back five minutes later to be presented here. Read: it doesn't make sense unless you're the author or people who are on the same brainwave as the author. I personally think it's very genius and thus I asked to translate this. Some revival. Some drowning-Demi's-bar. Some casino shit. Some weird relations between the characters. Some simping that lead to death. A shit ton of superpowers on Fiona, Ada and many more. Some money?

 

There's random throwaway one-lines, and there's also random one-lines that turn out to become a vital plot point. Perhaps you should watch out but don't overthink. You'll just find some sad stuff (e.g. why is Patricia named "Royal Half-Blood"? Because she was seen as unpure and unholy her whole life in both black and white communities due to being mixed-race).

 

People may change their IDs and PFPs throughout the story. It's mainly due to the first app shutting down (we both on second app RN) and thus losing a lot of data on PFPs, so the author just figured "screw it ima take this chance and give them character development so their IDs better match their current chap 50 self not, idk, chap 2 self". Since this isn't an issue here I'll just try to have them change it at a huge plot point; or if it's just sudden daily life change nothing happens.

 

I write the chapter notes. If something's written by the author I'll mark it as author's notes. Also Victor often comments as the author. So I'll uh give him a new job too? Comment as me and explain some stuff I can't? He's all-knowing after all lolol

 

Please PLEASE give me feedback. I'm not much better than gTranslate – only thing I know more about than Google is, idk, memes?? So I really need to know if I'm doing it well or horrendously.

 

I don't know how to tag. I tag too much.

 

Updates very slowly because translator is busy. Also because in order to have the same formatting as the OG work I use a Chinese APP which only allows 10 letters or numbers in character names so I change every one of them individually after I format everything else using Google Inspect. AKA im dumb and does every single name manually so it takes more time than translating the actual things. If the pfps don't line up once in a while or if the names have problems in it please please ignore it. I have to individually screenshot every five lines or so because only computer allows inspect and inspect doesn't work in fullscreen. dies inside

 

There are a lot of Chinese internet memes, puns and traditional Chinese references that I will try my best to get across. There are some scenes that were scrapped/deleted due to various reasons that I will try and fit in if I see fit (especially because if it was deleted due to the horrible censoring system on lofter).

 

There's often intermissions between chat chapters in the form of actual fanfiction, character notes, comic strips and other doodles relating to the series done by the author. I'll include them here as well in the same order.

 

If you send a comment I'll send it to the author if you want :D

 

Thank you for reading 'till here. Everything afterwards is the actual story. Yay?
