They've always existed, look at all those eroge from the 90s to early 2000s. The difference is back then the process of getting noticed and published was much harder. With the internet the way it is today, it's a lot easier for stories to get a following and published officially.

Regardless, Mushoku Tensei is a lot better than a lot of Isekai out there, because not everything goes the way of the MC. He gets rewarded by hard work, he gets punished by mistakes, and there are some things that are simply out of his control.
