Where are these "rules of narrative" written down?

That's a very naive view of story telling - almost "black hats for the bad guys" naive.

One of the shows you point to later, Hannibal, has as it's central character a white male psychopath - he's a bad bad man but has to live for future stories to be told. No redemption necessary.

Dracula - age old tale of the bad guy winning over and over again without redemption.

The Joker in Batman - in fact all the villains in almost all comics - get to keep on keeping on without redemption without incurring the wrath of the narrative.

Another misconception you keep throwing is that death was a "punishment" for Kali and Jennifer.

Jennifer wasn't trying to punish Kali - she was acting on her pain and her own selfish desires.

Jennifer was out for revenge - she got it. She was working out her own internal rage at the initial betrayal. Deucalion wasn't the person who betrayed her - he was secondary to her main goal which was to hurt the person who broke her heart.

Jennifer's death wasn't punishment either - Peter just didn't want the competition or had some other personal reason to want her out of the way that's yet to be revealed.

That's another thing - the first 12 episodes don't tell a complete story. While there were some full arcs the overarching story line has yet to play out. To say the Deucalion and twins were "redeemed" simply because they still live is silly. We have to see what their ultimate fate holds.
