It's Jorg from Mark Lawrence's Broken Empire trilogy.

The protagonist is not a nice person. He's ruthless and kills whoever annoys him, and the story is told by him from his point of view. I found it compelling and even ended up rooting for him, but some really didn't like it as the he's is so dark. I've read some criticism of the female characters in the books, and while that's kind of true for the first book, they get stronger, more rounded and more formidable as the series develops.
I really liked the setting of the series. You start off thinking it's a medieval fantasy universe like in Game of Thrones, but it becomes clear quite early that it's actually a future Earth after some horrible nuclear Armageddon, and as the series goes on, you get more and more sci-fi elements creeping in.
I'd recommend it, but only if you don't mind stuff that's dark.
