### Summary
Based on the provided materials, the first chapter of the manhwa, seemingly titled "Hooked and Cooked," introduces a protagonist who owns a seafood restaurant (referred to by readers as the "Sus Shack") and has a tough, gangster-like appearance that readers find endearing. He experiences what appears to be love at first sight with an exceptionally beautiful and majestic merman. The introduction of this dynamic immediately captivates the audience, who praise the gorgeous art style—noting it is from the same creators as "Moonquake"—and the extreme attractiveness of both main characters. Readers are instantly invested, making numerous puns on the title about being "hooked" by the story. There is active speculation on whether the character is a genuine merman or a performer, but the overwhelming sentiment is excitement for the "mermaid BL" premise and the anticipated sensual romance. Despite a brief, off-putting scene with abusive drunks, the chapter is received as a fantastic start, with returning fans confirming the series is a completed and well-loved story.
