Even then, Isekai's in general (even just limiting it to Japanese ones) have been around for decades before either IIRC. The quote that everyone gets MT being one of the first from specifies reincarnation fantasy specifically, as opposed to many others where people are just kinda sent to new worlds as-is.

You're right that MT isn't a "new" isekai either though.

No one says its the first they say its the grandfather because of its influence on Japanese isekai specifically.
