It hasn't been gone into too much but the narrator often, but not always, wants stuff for his help and usually gives things to people for helping him. The one moral the narrator seems to consciously value, he still grudgingly likes humans, is exchange.

A lot of time has passed to consider what had happened after all. I enjoy this kind of style and it fits well with the nature of the character. There's rarely any abundance of emotion I'm the narrator's voice, the Father is the one telling the story to the MC and he's by necessity the narrator. The style is one that's rather unemotional. The world is an alternative to our own and, while the world building isn't the focus, it is done well I'm the background. We're following the life of a being of unimaginable power as our MC learns of him. Occasional spelling mistakes but he's actively editing those out and he makes use of semicolons. The moral I'd say is being taught in this story is that you shouldn't be cold, you shouldn't close yourself off, and that kind of thing fine, if a bit overly typical for my tastes. The Father is kind of evil but not heartless and many characters have their own selfishness and flaws. The characters are pretty alright and the style is written matter of factly that I'd say it's cool.
