Depends on what you mean by a ruler.

Rather than being a bad monarch I think he just wasn't "skilled enough" to counter how corrupt the kingdom was at this point.

If he had a more even playing field and maybe a bit more ruthless/underhanded like Jircniv was he might have fared a bit better. (Remember how Jircmiv was willing to force noblewomen to become concubines for Ainz, seperating themfrom their families? It was to save the Empire, but it wasn't something to be applauded as "good")

Unfortunately Ramposa's virtue as a ruler, his honor an sense of justice, didn't fare well given how cynical Maruyama tends to be in his writing. The author seems to be pessimistic, but in a more positive seried Ramposa would probably be seen in a much better light.

In Overlord, dirtiness and underhanded means tend to take the day.
