Try my fork. It will work with 13_0_21. https://github.com/mhertzfeld/CrystalReportsNinja

Below is why you are getting the error and the workaround if you want to stick with the version of CrystalReportsNinja you are already running.

4. As most of CR/RAS .NET Assemblies are now re-versioned from 13.0.2000.0 to 13.0.3500.0, user MUST remove all old CR assemblies from Reference list and add the new version of CR assemblies, then rebuild the application.

a. For those customer/user who do not wanted to rebuilt their application, there’s workaround to use in app.config/web.config, please see attachment.
