Outside of certain school events (which can be blitzed past if not interested anyways) most of the unescapable prey scenes can be avoided using the google doc guide linked in the op. Some like the normal way to get to Maeve's Party can even be avoided by going on a Pred Route, as certain characters will not/can not eat you while you are stuffed with prey. Now I don't share your preferences (to me a vore scene's a vore scene) so I can't speak on whether the short scenes for classes would count as something you are or aren't down for, but at this point in time there is no real consequence for just mashing through them (it will likely matter in the future though) so feel free to just scroll to the bottom and click whatever. For now there is a skip for the one lab time by eating Gina as well, it should be pretty obvious when it comes up (after Anatomy class, follow her instead of getting lunch). That combined with eating someone before class earlier makes Slate pretty mad, so I don't know how long that will continue to be viable, though for now it works.
Other things to keep in mind though if you are going easy mode and don't want to be eaten:
Be careful if you perform too well in swim club for if you make some bad decisions Joan's scene can't be avoided, the Tabletop club is also a bit of a labyrinth to maneuver so check the guide before making too many choices, and there is both a relaxed and alert mode so be mindful which you are in. Relaxed means that you will not prevent anyone's attempts to eat you, while alert means you will stop any attempt that is able to be stopped (some scenes are unavoidable if you've made the wrong choices). Easy mode means that pred dice rolls will always succeed, so for a Pred Only Route, Easy mode Alert is what you are looking for.
Save often and early, as routes can be set up pretty quickly, as not counting the legendary Mandy route--which technically isn't an actual one--there are at least three best set up on Day 1 alone, being Sam, Leah, and to an extent Emma (as the most amount of affection gained for Emma is by far on Day 1).
To find what I'm typically talking about with "unavoidable scenes" check the "Always Fatal" scenes in the guide using ctrl f, many can simply be avoided by being on a different route, but others may require trial and error to avoid normally (so just consult the guide). It sounds a bit rough I know, but I remember having done many Pred Routes without being prey aside from classes without too much difficulty, but I guess to be fair that is with a lot of experience with the game. At the end of the day, the game is definitely good enough that even if you have to load a previous save or scroll quickly to the bottom every now and then, there is plenty to enjoy, so 100% give it a shot!
