The answer

Issuing a ruling on a fictional story requires a detailed examination of it. However, if it is free of meanings of disbelief or degradation of religion and moral values, then reading it is not considered forbidden. Nevertheless, reading what contains religious or worldly benefit is more preferable and better.
