Because he's struggling against weaker teams. Rating Games has special rules place on each game to make things interesting and to test the caliber of the King. How will a King do in this situation or that situation. Ise couldn't excel in those games hence the bad reviews. I don't think this is bad though, preparing and practicing to led a team and actually leading a team.

But i think the fault lies at Ise's team consisting mainly of his allies. Ise shouldn't have taken Xenovia, Asia and Ravel into his peerage all at once. Because of that he got things cut easy for him, he never got a chance to actually feel what's its like to find and gather your own ally, what it's like to slowly build a relationship of trust with them, to help guide them and so on.
