so if a pulp fiction novel mentioned allah somewhere, does it has to be treated specially?

Most Arabic literature avoids using the word outright unless it’s dedicated to the topic. Even Islamic books often refer to god by other names (e.g the creator, the merciful, the god of gods)

Fictional books are even less likely to use the word.
