When you pedal backwards, the chain is not guided by the derailleur. When you are in the extreme high or low gear, pedaling backwards may automatically shift the gears into a more straight chainline.
Bikes are not designed to be pedaled backwards. Why do you need to?

Don’t pedal backwards then, this kind of setup is designed to be pedaled forwards, not in reverse.

Damn that chainline is crying. Don’t pedal backwards if it skips. Simple.

Pedal forwards, you’d be amazed how much further you get 😏😁😆

is your bb too far out? chainline seems wierd?

i don’t think you can solve it without going to a double chainring, or maybe putting some spacers to move it in, but moving it in maybe has the same problem on the lower sprocket gears
the angle is what’s causing the issue , also that’s going to wear faster your chain/gears
it’s the drawbacks of having a mono sprocket
i don’t think i would do anything unless you use that gear a lot, because the lower gears are the ones that take the most force

You converted to 1x, then you might need to move the front chainring ever slightly closer to the BB so that it’s as close to the middle as possible.
Therefore highest or lowest gear won’t be too diagonal

I have a Meroca one so Ill try

Don’t pedal backwards. Don’t index your drive train around pedaling backwards. As long as pedaling backwards doesn’t instantly drop your chain you’re good
