The part about his morals in particular I really like. It is such a succint way of describing his character.
The actual text says (as per my translation, which you should take with a grain of salt, I'm still learning), "If there is any cause for concern, it is that he'll rarely prioritise morality over his curiosity. Nevertheless, he is more compassionate than most people and his sense of justice is strong as well."
And!! Yeah!! That's Gon. It shouldn't be surprising that an official character guide would get the basics of his personality right, but it's still refreshing to read given that he's so often mischaracterised by the animanga fandom at large.
It's so funny how in the Hunter x Hunter databook Gon's personality is pretty much described as, "His intelligence is peculiar and his morals are wonky as hell but he's a good kid." They're not wrong but lmao
